Recently two handsome plush lined
cases, filled with articles from the col.

the museum, near the main entrance,
tPlley contained the presentation swords.
gold headed canes, caskets, medallions.
and many Other costly anu elegant az
sticles presented by different people at
different times to Gen. Grant. Many
OF these articles are souvenirs Of his trip

collection Of Japanese coins, one series
Of seven pieces old Japanese gold coins,
Of huge size, being valued at $4,000.
There arc also, invitation cards, menu
cards, and reminders Of entertainments
given in his honor, engrossed on gold
plates. One invitation card to q masked
ball given at San Francisco upon Gen,

turn from his famous tour, is engraved
on solid gold, and was inclosed in a
silver envelope, with the address en-.

Thetooth pick, when used with dis

proper places, Is an unobje jectionable
little instrument. Its occasional em4
ployment is, as a rule, necessary to
cleanliness and the preservation OF the
teeth. SO, also, lis jthetrsegof the tooth
brush. This adjunct Of tho toilet is,
however, never used in public. Tho

should proceed to publicly use his tooth
brush would speedily find himself ban

action would he less Objectionable to

Itwould seem to be almost snnneces-

in the foregoing paragraph. No one
possessing any delicacy Of feeling or
squeamishness Of digestion will dream
of conuroverting them. And yet the

creasing, and has already reached tpro-
portions that strike the foreign visitor
with astonishment and disgust, and
make the lives of many Of our citizens

The practice has doubtless grown
owing to the large number Of people
who live or have lived in hotels and
boarding houses, where tooth picks
were furnished with the idea that
guests would take them to their rooms,
and in some of the goodNhotels guests
can even now only procure tooth picks
at ttthe doors by which they leave the
dining rooms. In other hotels and in
many boarding houses, and also, it is
sad to have to write, in some private
houses. the tooth pick holder is a, regu-

its contents are assiduously worked.

Tho Chain OF Seven Fins.

In tho museum of the Hotel Cluny,
in Paris, there is q curious chain..
Should you search ever so closely, /
hardly think you could find it, for it is
a very small, Insignificant looking OBJ
iect. --Seven pins not even OF one size
and almost entirely eaten through with
rust, Joined together in gold chain of
seven links at the end Of each Of which.

have said, it is very insignificant map

for a term of twenty years. I do, NOT
just now know what for, but it is im-
material for the purposes Of this story
for there Is no doubt that the prison
was very lonesome especially to him,
for his life had been gay and joyful;
lie demanded, prayed for some sort Of
deyers,on, but 1t was stubborlily re-
fused him. He feared that he would
eventually loose his mind and began,
perhaps alreadyHhalf crazed, to search
for some object inhiS small vacant cell
that would occupy it. He searched and
searched, and behold after long, long
search he found--a pin. This, to be
sure, brought him some, though very
little diversion He considered for in.

been there--it was almost consumed

this was about as much as he could ex-

anew--to cut the matter short. lie was.
fortunate enough to find six other pins.
True, he searched a long time after the
seventh pin in the hope Of finding.
something else perhaps another PIN
but all in vain; he found neither pin
nor anything else, In short. seven pins,
this was all he had found. Not very
much, to be sure, but the prisoner was
nevertheless happy, for even if the pins
he had found could no longer entertain
him, did, not their search divert his
mind2 Who knows perhaps it took
him a year, perhaps two years to find
them. And whilst revolving these
things in his mind, he thought of q
good means to drive away the spectre
Of loneliness and deadly ennui which.

darkcn his mind forever. ssIThat'''

YriCk Of tho Imagination.

A short time since a man was taken
to one of the hospitals suffering intense
pain lie Informed the doctors that
his homo was down in the country and
that If he died he wished to be sent
there. The physicians. asked him what
ne supposed caused the pain. t'1yhy,
| swallowed my plate and four false
teeth while asleep the other night, :"
was the answer, The patient was put
upon liquid food and all the examina-
tons, made by the medicos failed to
locate the swallowed article. The mans
sufferings were lessened considerably
and as test it was decided to give him
q little piece of beefsteak. That was
done and the poor patient was writhing
IN agony as soon as he had swallowed q
nloiltiifui. EOh, my Godr' he ex
claimed, 'this is killing me, know J.
shall die, - and numerous other such
speeches. The physicians and nurses
could hardly keep him in bed-he snf-
fered SO much, Again he broke forth
in cxclamations, This time he said:
"Oh, how suffer, Lean feel the teeth
tearing my stomach apart, OH he
did not finish until a nurse opened a
telegram from his wife. 1t read:
Found teeth under bed,n The suffer
ing man, who had swallowed those
feeth, got up and dressed, paid his bill
and left the hospital without word.
This is only an Illustration OF what
imagination will do.
